    Did you paint your barrel bead on your shotgun?

    I was told to paint my barrel bead "white" for better recognition of the clay.
    I've also seen them green, red, white, and just plain copper color. What color is yours??? Does it make a difference?

    Mines a white ball and a brass bead. I’m sure it’s easier to pick up a green or red.
    No preferences for me…

          I used a black sharpie on my white bead. The white caught my eye. Looking at the bead was not good for me. I shoot better with it blacked out.

            I broke mine off with a chisel.

                    Shoot with both eyes open unless shooting non moving target.

                        When my front bead fell off, the only thing left to look at was the clay, and I won my class at the 2011 CA State Sporting Clays Championship.

                          It still amazes me that people are worried about the friggin bead. IF YOU are looking at the BEAD you are not hitting S**T Pretend it's not there and look at the bird!!
